Sophia - After successfully soldering hinges, the recessed, geometric face of the ring is blackened with sulphides and a pearl completes her design.

Claire - This impressive and slightly domed, sterling silver ring is perfect for a design that features a continuous letter stamp pattern.

Amanda's new, contemporary looking squared band will have a brushed, fine finish before the sides are high polished.

Katherine's first experience cutting metal is practiced on copper plate. Her ring design is cut in sterling silver for a special rotating band of LOVE letters.

Katherine's unique, kinetic ring has carefully soldered side rails and the top letter band moves as desired! Bravo!

Angelique took a weekend workshop to design and create something extraordinary. Here she has boldly cut out the shapes of “die pressed” octopus tentacles. Above she will place a special yellow calcite in a remarkably original ring.

Pam has created a personally expressive ring with wrapped and layered effects. Her dream project was to create a ring with dramatic contours and a surface pattern involving two precious metals. A sterling silver shank is draped with a textured 18k yellow gold element.

Shelley has brought special gold nuggets that she found 20 yrs. ago to her weekend workshop. Her project involved creating an attractive, sterling silver ring shank with recessed areas into which she carefully soldered the found treasures.

Here are two sophisticated bands that required patience and hard work for everyone. Including the ring shank, there are three layers of white gold building up the detailed profile of this ring. Martinus has bezel set black diamonds for his students in these special wedding bands.
